I’m pretty saddened by the recent Coppers Nerf. Having a unique pet / companion who could function as a battle pet and vendor within dungeons would have been amazing. Its 2024 and with the recent updated positioning favoring players and alts there’s no reason this nerf should have ever happened. There’s no negative reason for this functionality not existing which isn’t outweighed by the benefits to players, the community, and the game.
- Coppers vendor & battle functionality would be tied to a new companion tied to the new expansion. IE new item to work towards = player engagement = increase drive for the war within.
- Removed functionality gives players a unique quality of life aspect not previously available. IE new functionality = new excitement (hence removed) = player engagement
- Pet already has to be earned via new faction and new currency. IE new reward = new engagement (now diminished).
- The quality of life improvement lets players do the other things they want to focus on instead of constantly having to pause or exit areas to clear bag space. IE quality of life = more time spent having fun the way players want to have fun … mount farming, raiding, transmog collecting, etc

and copper did not have such thing? i can see why it was nerfed even jheeves has a cd
There was a bit of a “too good to be true” vibe about him, so I can’t say I’m shocked he was changed.
Still, one never knows. Perhaps there’s some Una style upgrade quest hidden out there?.

And its character specific. There’s no real point anymore in having such restrictions as a cool down and character specificity with the state of the game in 2024.
Especially as, y’know, if its an outdoor dungeon I can just summon my mammoth or yak

Was there some reason other than a bug or a way to abuse this pets funcionality or was it just another FUN DETECTED DELETE kind of thing. Why do they even bother adding anything cool like this only to go eh thats gonna make it fun for people who farm current/old content and will be followed by a permanent vendor pet so lets just remove that and go back on another almost if not Perfect game function. Same thing happened with the Item Scrapper which by Right should have been enabled Game Wide and functioned seperately for every expansions gear so you would break Classic gear for Classic materials etc. Instead they said Nah we don’t want the Mass Amount of 24/7 crafters having easy access to materials. I see no single reason why they Do these things. If less than 100 people globally find and abuse something with it WHO CARES its there way of playing the game and Blizzard should onlynerf the parts that are being Abused not remove the thing or ignore it entirely. I honestly Do Not understand what the game Devs talk about when they do meetings it honestly is nothing productive but subductive when it comes to how they run the game.

Also the Ethereal Soul trader, but you can only buy from them.
They should give coppers combat moves if they plan on not giving him his vendor status back.
Maybe have him be like the Ethereal Soul Trader and sell you additional items for Wax but like the soul trader doesn’t buy your junk.
